overs, exposing her belly to him openly. "That's great! I thought you would choose Miss Qi Ya, but since you chose the child, what about Miss Qi Ya You wouldn't give up saving her either, right""Yes,...Her neighbors said someone had come to pick her up. Lü Hanchuan flicked his cigarette ash.
Fu Xiaoyao loosened his waist, "Is it Qi Dongming's people"
"I don't know, but it probably is." Lu Hanchuan turned around.
Fu Xiaoyao reluctantly twitched the corners of her mouth, "Now that Qi Ya is gone, it seems the Lu family's war with theirs has truly begun. Hanchuan, you have to be careful."
"I know, you shouldn't go anywhere else besides the sanatorium during this time." Lu Hanchuan earnestly reminded him.
Fu Xiaoyao nodded heavily, "I know, you can rest assured."
"Well, go get some rest." Lu Hanchuan walked to the desk and put out his cigarette in the ashtray.
Fu Xiaoyao followed, "And what about you"
"I'm a bit busy tonight, I got that plot of land. Let me know if anything comes up later that needs my attention." Lu Hanchuan opened his computer.
"You really bought it" Fu Xiaoyao exclaimed.
Lu Hanchuan nodded.
"But that piece of land, don't you think something is wrong with it Today Auntie Song told me that all the other land has been requisitioned by the state, except for that piece, so I feel..."
"I know what you mean. I've also thought that the piece of land might be intentionally trying to get me to buy it." Lu Hankan interrupted her.
Fu Xiaoyao panicked, "Then you're still buying What if there's really a conspiracy."
"I was plotted against." Lu Hanchuan's face was dark.
Fu Xiaoyao was stunned, "Who"
"Tang Yi." Lu Hanzchuan tightened his grip on the mouse.
Fu Xiaoyao blinked, "He Why would he plot against you"
"That plot of land, I was supposed to bid on it with him. But I didn't expect Tang Yi to give up halfway through the auction after taking a phone call." Lu Hanchuan replied.
Fu Xiaoyao twitched the corner of her mouth, "So that piece of land ended up in your hands"
Lu Hanchuan pursed his lips and remained silent, tacitly agreeing.
Fu Xiaoyao suddenly felt like laughing, "That's really..."
She didn't know what adjectives to use.
I don't know whether to say he's lucky or unlucky.
"By the way, what was the reason he gave up that piece of land" Fu Xiaoyao asked, after all, this was the most crucial point.
Lu Hanchuan pulled up the information on that piece of land again, looking it over carefully as he spoke, “I don’t know. I didn’t have time to ask before he left.”
"Is that so" Fu Xiaoyao murmured, then continued, "Hanchuan, don't you think this is too coincidental He wanted the land before, but now he doesn't want it anymore. It seems very strange. Could he be deliberately trying to trick you"
Lu Hánchuan's eyes flashed with displeasure, but he didn't respond.
Fu Xiaoyao looked at him, letting out a silent sigh in her heart. Then she suddenly remembered the tea was still outside the door and hurried to bring it in.
"Han Chuan, you're busy, I'll go back to my room first." Fu Xiao Yao poured a cup of tea for Lu Han Chuan after, she left the study.
Back in her room, as soon as she closed the door, she took out her phone and dialed Tang Yi's number.
The phone connected quickly, and Tang Yi's carefree voice came over, "You called me so late, do you miss me"
Fu Xiaoyao ignored his flowery words, her face expressionless as she asked, "Was that intentional"
"What do you mean" On the phone, Tang Yi was wearing a purple robe, holding a glass of red wine in his hand, and swaying leisurely.
Fu Xiaoyao pursed her lips, "Of course it's that piece of land. Did you deliberately give up halfway through the bidding"
Tang Yi heard this, his shaking of the red wine momentarily paused, then he laughed again, "Xiao Yao, you miss me so much, it truly pains me. I didn't deliberately abandon it halfway, but I found another piece of land, and this one is no longer needed."
"What, another piece of land" Fu Xiaoyao was slightly surprised.
Tang Yi took a sip of wine, “You’re right. I heard from President Wang that President Lu was also interested in buying that piece of land. I was worried about losing to President Lu, so I had someone find another one just in case. Unexpectedly, during the bidding process, my people said that this piece of land was even better than President Wang's. Naturally, I chose the better one.”
"This..." Fu Xiaoyao choked.
It's true what they say, but she always felt something was off.
"Xiao Yao, you called me, wouldn't it be because you think I'm deliberately trying to pit Lu Zong" Tang Yi narrowed his handsome eyes.
Fu Xiaoyao's eyes darted awkwardly, not knowing how to respond.
Tang Yi feigned sadness and let out a sigh, "I didn't expect you to think of me this way. Oh, it really hurts my feelings. How could I possibly betray Lu Zong You have to know that piece of land was the one I had my eye on first! I got in touch with Wang Zong before Lu Zong even knew about it. I had no idea he was also interested in buying land. How could I betray him"
Now Fu Xiaoyao had nothing more to say.
Because what Tang Yi said makes a lot of sense.
He set his sights on that piece of land before Lu Hanchuan, even if he wanted to scheme against Lu Hanchuan, he should wait until later to compete with him for the land.
Or, perhaps it's all just a coincidence.
Thinking about it, Fu Xiaoyao put aside the doubts in her heart and her expression softened, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to think too much, it's just..."
"I know, worrying makes things complicated. I forgive you, and besides, I've already given that land to Mr. Lu. You should be happy." Tang Yi's lips curled into a meaningful arc.
"We probably intervened, or that piece of land would have been yours," Fu Xiaoyao said with a smile. She couldn't see and therefore didn't notice his strangeness.
"It's nothing, maybe it was just fate. Besides, I have a better place now, that piece of land doesn't appeal to me anymore." Tang Yi spoke in an indifferent tone.
>
"Fine." Tang Yi readily agreed.
After briefly discussing a few other topics, Fu Xiaoyao hung up the phone.
She put down her phone, opened the door to her room, and glanced towards Lu Hánchuan's study. Seeing the light shining from under the door, she sighed and closed the door again.
I also don't know what time he will be busy until tonight.
Fu Xiaoyao thought about it, shook her head, and went to the bathroom to wash up.
After washing up, she pulled back the covers and burrowed into the bed. Then she picked up a design book, leaned against her headboard, reading while waiting for Lu Hanchuan. She wanted to see if he would come back.
But when midnight came, Lu Hanchuan didn't show up. Instead, he was met with the growling of his empty stomach.
Fu Xiaoyao put down the book in her hand, rubbed her stomach, and finally let out a wry smile. She got out of bed and went downstairs to the kitchen, planning to make herself some late-night snacks.
At this time, Aunt Song was still not asleep and was still busy in the kitchen. When she saw her arrive, she was quite surprised, "Madam It's so late, why aren't you resting"
"Unable to sleep, my stomach is rumbling. Auntie Song, what are you doing" Fu Xiaoyao looked at the flour on the kitchen counter and asked curiously.
Aunt Song smiled and explained, “This isn't making buns tomorrow morning I'm kneading the dough now, otherwise I'll be busy all morning tomorrow.”
"That's how it is," Fu Xiaoyao nodded, indicating that she understood.
Auntie Song covered the dough with gauze and walked to the sink to wash her hands. "By the way, Madam, you just said you were hungry, right Then I'll cook you some noodles."
"I'll do it myself, Aunt Song, you go rest." Fu Xiaoyao refused.
Aunt Song was stunned for a moment, then smiled and agreed, "Okay, you can do it yourself. Be careful not to burn your hands."
"Mmm," Fu Xiaoyao replied, then rolled up her sleeves and began to work.
She cooked two bowls of noodles, one for herself and one for Lu Hanchuan.
It's so late, he must be hungry, too, right
I wonder if he'd be happy to see that she cooked him noodles.gotten that Lu Hanchuan had once said that Lu Hanting was taken away by an enemy of the Lu family and might have been cultivated by that enemy as a tool for revenge against the Lu family.So she couldn...
